instead of copying the config files...you could simply just do a 'make
oldconfig' and that will keep the default rh settings.

First of all, you need to start with a Red Hat kernel configuration.
That will make life easier:
cd /usr/src/linux-2.4
cp configs/kernel-2.4.18-i686.config .config
(assuming that you have an Intel Pentium Pro or better processor)
Then run `make xconfig` etc.
You should also take a look at the linux-ntfs site which has an rpm to
add NTFS support:
